24．（10分） Wherever China's national flag is raised，there is the pride of the Chinese people.Between June 3 and 4，the Chang'e 6 lunar probe（月球探测器） showed our national flag on the moon's far side（月球背面）.This is the first flag of any country to fly there!
The flag uses very cool technology（科技）.It is made of Xuanwu rock.The rock is common on Earth.You can find it in many places.People often make the rock into floors and roads.

Although the flag is made of rock，it is not heavy.It's just a little heavier than four table tennis balls.It could last over 10，000 years on the moon，because it can stand up to heat，cold and it's hard to break，said Zhou Changyi，one of the scientists who made the flag.

25．【答案】Dear editor，
I think everyone needs friendship.I have a friend.I met Peter in primary school.We found ourselves sitting next to each other.At first we were just friends at school，but as we grew older，we started doing other things together.We would spend time at each other's houses at the weekend，and our parents took us away on holiday together.We were like brothers almost.But then we went to different junior high schools and we didn't see each other very often.But then one evening when I joined a new football club，I found Peter in the club.So we started practising together twice a week，and later playing in the same team.In fact，we built a great goal﹣scoring partnership，probably because we knew each other so well.He made me understand that persistence is victory.We learn from each other，help each other and grow each other.I think we'll still be close friends in the future.
Yours，
Li Hua
